A method and a system for establishing a route of an unmanned aerial vehicle are provided. The method includes identifying an object from surface scanning data and shaping a space, which facilitates autonomous flight, as a layer, collecting surface image data for a flight path from the shaped layer, and analyzing a change in image resolution according to a distance from the object through the collected surface image data and extracting an altitude value on a flight route.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
10. The system of claim 9, wherein the collection unit obtains the point cloud onto which a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) pulse is projected via a LiDAR device of the aircraft.
11. The method of claim 7, the layer shaping unit generates a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) layers on the space.
12. The method of claim 8, the shaping the space map unit matches a GPS coordinate to the autonomous navigation map, processes an altitude value of an image from the autonomous navigation map, and corrects, based on the processed altitude value, an altitude value measured by a sensor.
15. The method of claim 13, wherein at least one of the way points is a point at which the unmanned aerial vehicle performs a mission assigned thereto.
